Marriage at the United Church Chapel
 on Temple Street.
 Last evening the United church chapel was brilliantly lighted just before six o'clock. The company, who came in carriages and on foot, were passing in, where ushers received at the doors and seated them. The audito- rum was fairly filled and some were in the galleries.
 The bridal party occupied the front par lors, just behind the main room of the chapel. President Dwight of Yale first took seat on the platform at 6:15 o'clock. A bridal march was struck on the piano, the folding doors opened and the bridal party of twelve moved up the center aisle and stood before the off ciating clergyman, President Dwight of Yale. First simple solemn prayer was offered. Next, as requested by the minister, the groom and bride took each others right hand. The formal pledge given was assented to distinct ly by each in those little but most important words ''I do." Another appropriate impress sive prayer followed and the apostolic bene diction closed the service. Only fifteen min- utes' time was spent and Henry s. Wanna maker, B. A., of Orangeburg, s. o., and Mary Filley, of this city, were made one and left the chapel for their distant home in Ne braska. The bride was dressed only in trav- cling costume. MT. Wannamaker graduated lest year from the Theological seminary here. TO COMMENCE WORK TO-DAY.
